This elegant sofa comes from Old Hickory Tannery, a family owned American company based out of Hickory, North Carolina. As the name reflects, they originally started out with a focus on fine leather upholstery but have since branched out to a much wider range of fabrics and styles.

All of their upholstery is cut and sewn entirely by hand, all frames are constructed of solid hardwood and the nailhead trim is all hand-hammered. It's safe to say that they definitely put a lot of focus on fine quality craftsmanship.

I chose this particular tufted sofa to showcase because it stood out as having the perfect combination of style and comfort - and what an eye-catcher!

The wine-colored velvet looks lush and welcoming and the sweetheart back with rolled arms, nailhead trim and turned legs give it a wonderfully timeless appeal. The frame is gorgeous maple with a special finish for a dimensional look.

As a bonus, this sofa actually comes with four accent pillows as shown, however I think it looks beautiful standing alone and could even look great with some contrasting color accents of your own choice as well. Imagine more modern turquoise throw pillows or blanket for a funkier

and less formal feel!
